Local housing strategies can also identify areas of cultural, environmental, heritage or local character significance.

To date, the first step of the data gathering, analysis and constraint mapping has been undertaken by consultants Premise. This preliminary research work has looked at:

  • constraints and opportunities,

  • the composition of households and demographics of our community.

As we move into the next phase of this important project, there are two targets for community consultation: Landholders, and the general community.
